river men say that the channel never has
changed at Pierre. 1t is unlikely that it

what has that to do with the bridge?"
The bridge must be built with pier.
or piers, and have draw. If the channel
changes the draw will be valueiess. and
navigation would be impeded. Inasmuch
as the channel does not change at Pierre,
you see it is an advantageous place for a
bridge. Besides, there is the island opposite
East Pierre. which can be used for the
principal pier. That will save Golfer dam
work, and relieve the company of the eX-
penSe Of thousands of dollars in the con-
struction of the bridge"
Have you seen any evidence that the
company is opposing the bill?"

definite reasons. When l reason the mat

why the road should antagonize us. There
is one reason advanced, however, by the
parties who believe the story. and that is
that, since the Northwestern has completed
the Chadron route, through Buffalo Gap
into Rapid, they have monopoly of the
traffic, and not inclined to assist in the
opening of the reservation, as they do not
care to eXpend any more money in laying
rails. They have been spending money all

THE NORTH WESTERNS STAND.
The Dawes Bill Not Being Opposed
by This Company.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Concerning the
alleged hostile attitude of the Chicago &
Northwestern company to the Dawes bill, a
gentleman who is greatly interested in the
bill says: Il can see no reason that would
influence the company against the bill other
than pure selfshness and narrow minded
ness. do not believe that it is a road which
is managed by small-minded people. and
hence do not believe that the road is antag-
onistic to the passage of the bill. In the
first place. the Northwestern has the best
possible crossing at Pierre. All the availa-
BILE crossings were considered, with bridge
necessities, before the terminal point of
Pierre was selected"
Ibid the Northwestern have the first
choice for terminuS?"
1T had, and chose Pierre. You see the
only way to approach the river with a rail-
road is by following water courses. The
only way to get away from the river on the
other side is by following water courses.
The Northwestern took all of these things
into consideration, and selected the best
place on the river"
In what sense is Pierre the best place?'
sit is the best place for terminal sta
ton, with transfer by stage. because of its
outlet. That is the reason it was selected
by the Northwestern. You will notice that
the road runs south from Blunt, IN order to
get to the river, along Medicine creek. Ex-
actIy opposite Pierre is the Bad river.
which runs almost directly across the reser-
Walton to the Cheyenne river, which is
tapped by hundreds of water courses which
run into the hills"
what has that to do with the attitude
OF the road toward the Dawes bill?"
Everything. 1t shows that the road IS
we'll prepared for the emergencies and ext
gencies of the times. No road is so able,
and no road is so far-sighted and we'll pre-
pared for the building of a line of rails
across the reservation. 1t would be very
foolish for that road to antagoniZe the OPEN
ing of the millions of acres to settlement"
Would the opening of the reservation be
beneficial to the road?"
Most certainly. 1t would bring not less
than 100, 900 more people into the country,
and increase the business, double the bust
ness, OF the road in one year. There would
be steady increase in business and profits
from the time the first rail is laid"
.'Would not the company be at great ex-
pense in building a bridge and grading, and
so forth?"
'.On the contrary, that matter has been
foreseen, also. There is no better crossing
on the river for bridge. The channel does
not change at Pierre. The river plunges

MANDAN & BLACK HILLS.
Some of the Reasons why Such a
Road Should be Built.
Specialize the GLOBE.

Special to the GLOBE.
MANDAN, OAK, Jan. IA year ago
there was some little agitation in town con-
corning new railroad, to be called the
Mandan & Black Hills railroad. Industri-
Gus citizens, headed by Mr.. E. c. Rice. our
present mayor. had some little printed
matter prepared. setting forth the advan-
tageS to be derived by any company that
would construct such road. Mandan,
being located on the west side of the Mis-
souri, river just at the west end of the
Northern Pacific bridge, would certainly be
far better point on the Northern Pacific
for an independents road to start
from than further west. An in
dependent railroad, starting from Man
dan, would have all the advantages
that are to be gained from being able to
make connections with the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul. the Chicago & North
western and the Rock Island that will
speedily come into Bismarck and cross over
to Mandan. There is fine country lying
between this point and the Black HillS-a
stretch of farming land that would offer
almost unprecedented advantages to the
settler. The land is good, coal is abundant,
water is everywhere, grazing and farming
lands of the best quality are waiting to be
taken up and bought. Your correspondent
learns that the matter of a road from this
point to the Hills is being talked
of by the high officials of the
Northern Pacific, and it is very gen
orally believed that the Northern Pacific
will. in the spring, have a survey made,
and later in the season begin work on the
road. This is most eligible point for the
road to start from. The Northern Pacific
has its shops here. immense yard room and
facilities for doing a great deal more work
than is at present being done. Then. too,
as any one can see by glancing at the map,
there is every reason why road to the
Hills should make its start from this point.

Heretofore the Hills people have worked

to bring about the opening of the reserve,
but secured very little assistance from
sources which might naturally have been
expected to contribute. Then the Hills
people were more interested in the opening
than now. That is, the necessity for the
opening seemed very pressing. as they had
no railroad communication with the outside
world. and it was believed the first road to
the Hills would have to come in an almost
direct west line from the Missouri. The
coming of railroad from another direction
affords means of easy travel and of rapid
freight transportation. and in consequence
they do not feel so vitally interested as be-
